Holidays. Just the thought of it leaves adults in a dreamy state of euphoria and children squealing in excitement. The plane ride, checking into a hotel, tourist attractions, the sun, the sand between your toes, cocktails in hand and as the Italians say, il dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing, is undeniably a luxury we spend the entire year dreaming of!
A family holiday is incredibly important, as it is one of the best ways to relax and rejuvenate. It gives you the opportunity to take a complete break from the daily grind and to reconnect with yourself and those who matter most. It’s when you strengthen family bonds and make beautiful memories that last a lifetime.
But alas, let’s face it. Travelling is not an option for the time being. In fact, with the announcement from National Development Minister Lawrence Wong that “Singaporeans are unlikely to be able to travel for leisure this year, though essential business travel will be possible,” it seems like the travel plans will have to take a backseat for a long time coming.
The situation does seem bleak but do not despair, for you still can have a fantastic family getaway sans the plane ride!

New Normal
While all of these sound good, we understand that you may be rather apprehensive due to the current pandemic. Rest assured, certified SG Clean, RWS’s hotels uphold the highest standards of sanitisation and hygiene based on the three principles of Safe Entry, Safe Experience and Safe Environment.
Apart from these, contactless payment is strongly encouraged and hotel room key cards are UV sterilised along with rigorous cleaning and sanitising regimes at all high touchpoints and surfaces. In addition, even enhancing air purity in three steps: 600 air ionisers installed, HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters trap 95% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, and UV-C treatment kills viruses passing through its light rays.
So there you go, mums and dads, the complete guide to your vacation right in the comfort of home. Not being able to travel can take a huge toll on families that are used to holidaying, so it’s time to get out there and do something fun with the whole family.
